project black out!

[Gearhead559]

99 mustang removed the 4.6, and installed that driveline into another customer v-6 car.
owner wanted a BB, and i have always wanted to do one of the 99up cars with a BB, so here goes.

heres where it starts. just back from the body shop. waiting its turn for teardown.

large pile of parts waiting.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/Shop%20stuff/100_2774.jpg

hiding in that pile is a slightly warmed over stock 460 i built at home in my 1 1/2 car garage, waiting on me to find a building.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_3093.jpg

then tear down began
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_2965.jpg

using a 95 5.0 k member, hooker swap headers, and my k member spacers for the fox bb swap, flaming river rack, and manual brake kit, and brake pedal from the 6 cylinder car, i started the test fitting

and slide it into place for mock up

[mustangboy]

So what happened to the coupe?

[Gearhead559]

my coupe? sitting in the corner of the shop, waiting for me to get all these other projects done..lol

hell i have several other builds going on for customers at the moment.
most pf which can be seen here http://gearheadzautomotive.myfastforum.org/forum2.php&sid=13e18489770932dabb4fce0a3071185c
03 terminator car with a hellion kit im rebuilding the engine in
94 dodge stealth im rebuilding the engine in
99gt with a bb engine build swap, basically and bumper to bumper build.
first gen rx7 with a sbf going into it.
another 90 notch 408/tremec car im doing random stuff too
last gen rx7 pulling motor and having one built, and redoing a bunch of stuff on
86 gt t top super charged car, and i have been redoing stuff on, and every time i turn around he wants more done on(with isnt a bad thing)
89gt turbo car here, that has had one issue after another(fix one problem, you find 4 more)
plus other random cars through out the day...so i keep rather busy..lol

just havent had time for my notch. after getting screwed over by the last body guy, i have decided to just let it sit for the last year or so, and just havent had time for it. one day...hopefully this winter, i can get to finishing the body work on it, and laying some paint, and get back to finally putting it back together for the last time. and working its bugs out.

[DeckerEnt]

You have a full plate!!! Keep plugging away.

[Mustard]

looks like a cool project for sure

[Gearhead559]

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4901.jpg

[chadomac]

Cool project

[Blackpony]

Wow i'm drooling

[BLUE91LX]

Looks good. Keep it up.

[Gearhead559]

got the coil mounted
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4973.jpg

wires made.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4974.jpg

throttle issue taking care of
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4975.jpg

got my fuel system trick figured out
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4977.jpg

started running brake lines
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4978.jpg

mounted the fuse box up
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4976.jpg

and sorted out all the stock wiring, and powered the fuse box, and ran the wiring for the alternator
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4976.jpg

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4979.jpg
so yes, you can wire tuck a 99 up car.
:D

[Gearhead559]

lots of room on the driver side
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5003.jpg

not as much room on the passenger side, but even the mod motors have less here
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5005.jpg

most of the room you gain is around the frame rail.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5008.jpg

with the stock 94/95 k member tho, you have the 5.0 mounting mounts to work with the fox swap mounts. doesnt give much room up front tho
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5004.jpg

lots of room from the back. making trans swaps a breeze. and the nice thing to, the driver side header comes apart in the car so you can still remove the trans with ease.(unlike a 2v with long tubes, which sucks i know, i am doing one this week)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5006.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5007.jpg

but anyway on with some updates with the car.

trans lines are in, and tucked for the header to clear them. which you cant see them in the pic cause i used my bender to tuck them in real nice.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5008.jpgI'll try to get a pic from under it tomorrow.

mounted the coolant jug on the frame rail, since the t stat housing sits higer then the radiator cap, i'll be running the cap in the upper housing to keep it from getting air pockets trapped for now, till i can do a custom radiator and cooling tank for the car.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4995.jpg

these cars always had ground every where, so i and putting ground points every where tucked away for the stock wiring to ground on.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4998.jpg

made a delete panel for the stock shifter hole, going to be running switches and maybe a gauge in there. and mounted the hyfire box there for easy changes at the track
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4996.jpg

[Gearhead559]

and started laying out how the cage is going to go in it, need to leave room in the rear for a mini tub down the road.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_4997.jpg

[Gearhead559]

been a sleepless night for me, but the nice part about it is, when i have the motivation, i am only 20 feet from the shop..lol

but got some holes cut for the gauges to check fitment, the tach is going to be tight on the crash bar, but i can make it work
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5025.jpg

making sure the door bars clear the arm rests
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5026.jpg

at this point, my car is donating alot of parts for this build. hoses, alternator and pulleys and so on. your welcome tyler
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5022.jpg

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5074.jpg

hardest part is this header..after you have done it 20 some times, you can make it look easy...lol starter did need re clocked
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5076.jpg

and plumbed into the rest of the factory evap line.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/100_5084.jpg

[Gearhead559]

[Gearhead559]

http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/?action=view&current=100_5102.flv

[AZZKIKR]

Coming along nicely...going to be a sweet car.Keep up the good work.

[Gearhead559]

for some reason the carb seems to be dumping fuel down 1,4 and 6,7 and flooding 1/2 the intake ......but it runs...

[Gearhead559]

had to get a donor carb to test...pretty sure the one we have for this, is having a internal issue.

but heres some video...
http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/gearhead559/tylers%20build/?action=view&current=100_5136.flv
